The Parent Track

Whoever said adoption was a lengthy process was right. We've been steady spending our weekends and evenings working on our requirements for our adoption. Here are some of the things we've been working on this week:

We read Dear Birthmother. It's a great book about thinking about what it's like to be the adoptive parents and the birth parents. This book is great for anyone who is thinking about exploring adoption.

We had our first meeting with our Adoption Specialist yesterday. One of the next times we speak with her will be when she is calling to tell us about a match.
We're also working on collecting our photos for our online and print profiles. After we choose the photos, we have to come up with captions.

We are writing our "articles" about our lives and views on parenting as well as a generic letter to the birth parents. Our goal to complete the pictures, articles and letter is the end of this month. So, we're steady working.

Thank you again for all of your support and prayers. We'll be sure and keep you posted.

It simply amazes me how many hoops adoptive parents have to jump through! I know its a very lengthy process, but do you have any idea of a timeline of when you might be able to bring a little one home?
